Huatai Securities proposes 2025 interim dividend, governance overhaul

Huatai Securities Co., Ltd. announced its 2025 interim dividend proposal and significant governance changes for its October 17, 2025, meetings in Nanjing. The proposed interim dividend is RMB 0.15 (tax inclusive) per share, based on total share capital of 9,026,863,786 shares. This totals a cash dividend of RMB 1,354,029,567.90, representing 17.94% of consolidated net profit attributable to shareholders for the first half of 2025. The cash dividend will be paid in RMB to A-share shareholders and Hong Kong-traded investors, and in HKD or RMB to H-share shareholders (excluding Hong Kong-traded investors).

Shareholders will also vote on extensive revisions to the company's Articles of Association and rules of procedure for the general meeting and the board of directors. A key proposal is the elimination of the supervisory board, with its functions to be absorbed by the board's audit committee. All current supervisory board members will continue to serve until the effective date of the change. These amendments aim to enhance corporate governance and operational efficiency in line with updated regulations.
